Sean Martinez, a lonely, divorced twenty-something from a small town in western Oregon, is about to embark on a journey, an unexpected trip of a lifetime - a trip that will change him forever. He travels to New Orleans, where he falls for Daniella, a beautiful young woman from Cincinnati. Unbeknownst to Sean, Daniella is engaged to a man of power and wealth, a man who is abusive, hot-tempered, and dangerous - and also the leader of an underground crime family. From the Queen City to the Crescent City, Sean and Daniella’s story takes them through highs and lows, unforeseen dangers, and ultimately leads them both to the realization that some things in this world are worth fighting for - and quite possibly dying for.
